Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “expect,” “target,” similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about the Transaction and the consummation thereof, but forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the filing persons’ control, and therefore forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results. Forward-looking statements herein, including statements relating to the consummation of the Transaction on a timely matter or at all, are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the risk that conditions to the consummation of the Transaction may not be satisfied or waived, including receipt of required stockholder and regulatory approvals; (ii) the risk that required financing for the Transaction may not be received; (iii) the risk that litigation relating to the Transaction may disrupt consummation of the Transaction; (iv) the risk that the performance of Twitter’s business and operations may disrupt consummation of the Transaction; and (v) the risk that the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the Transaction, are more fully discussed in the definitive Transaction Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Transaction. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the definitive Transaction Proxy Statement will be, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties related to the Transaction. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward looking statements. X Holdings I, Inc., X Holdings II, Inc. and Elon Musk do not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by applicable securities and other laws.
